I'm not sure I'd call it overpriced with that CPU in it, and it should be quieter than a gaming laptop and if you're after a larger screen it's probably about as good as you'll get for the price for a non-gaming laptop. https://www.box.co.uk/FX706HCB-HX147W-ASUS-TUF-Gaming-F17-Intel-Core-i5-16GB-R_4341533.html - that's a gaming laptop alternative at the same price. The CPU isn't quite as strong as the one from Argos, but it's still very decent and has a dedicated graphics card. Perfect thank you Kev.

kokafalasi Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hey, Using a MB Air with the Apple M1 chip (2020), 16GB memory. Current OS is Monterey 12.1. Both in FM 22 and during the FM 23 Beta it overheats quite frequently (although I’m playing normally, it’s not shut down at any point), which is a bit of an issue to me seeing it doesn’t have the fans. I play with main 5 leagues loaded, two tiers each, not more than that. Also it happens even fairly early in saves (4-5 seasons in). I also have zero other apps running (maybe a Safari tab to browse random stuff). I have no idea if this is expected behaviour? Feels like it should be able to handle the game a bit better?

Anything which taxes the processor is going to cause it to generate some heat. The debateable point is whether the issue lies with the game design, or the computer design. It does seem somewhat odd to me to have a computer with no fans at all, but it seems one of the main selling points of the Macbook Air is the compact and quiet design.

Only heat issues was when I was testing stuff and leaving it on over night etc to holiday decades into the game. Even laptops with a fan are going to get hot whilst gaming. So some heat is not bad. If its steaming hot for hours on end though that is a worry towards the longterm health of the laptop. Makes me wonder if I have a different setting or something compared to you. When I first got my air I did have heat issues when playing other more graphical heavy games, though over time I feel they patched and improved the performance of those games on the M1. So those issues stopped. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only heat issues was when I was testing stuff and leaving it on over night etc to holiday decades into the game. Even laptops with a fan are going to get hot whilst gaming. So some heat is not bad. If its steaming hot for hours on end though that is a worry towards the longterm health of the laptop. Makes me wonder if I have a different setting or something compared to you. When I first got my air I did have heat issues when playing other more graphical heavy games, though over time I feel they patched and improved the performance of those games on the M1. So those issues stopped. I wouldn’t say it’s flaming hot for hours, it does come and go usually. But a lot of the time when it’s hot, it’s HOT! I do leave it open overnight most of the time however. Maybe shutting down the machine before I go to bed is what I should be doing. Will give it a go. Thanks for the response! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
